Alessandro Orologio
Born: 1550, San Giorgio della Richinvelda, Italy
Died: 1633, Vienna, Austria
Nationality: Italian
Alessandro Orologio (also Alexander Horologius) was an Italian composer and instrumentalist, who lived in German lands.
Orologio's first appearance on record is as a trumpeter in the court of Rudolf II at Prague around 1580. He remained there until 1613, and was named vice-kapellmeister in 1603, though he also traveled widely. In a 1594 visit to Kassel, he met famed lutenist John Dowland. His propensity for travel resulted in the mistaken impression (first proposed by Robert Eitner) that there were two Alessandro Orologios.
